Season 4, Episode 1: Good Game, Good Game


Our winter sabbatical is at an end! So welcome back for a new season of Talk to Mee in the Car — a podcast about all things teaching related and education inspired, recorded right here in my vehicle on my drive back and forth to work as a high school instructional coach. This week’s podcast takes a closer look at the shocking events from our nation’s Capitol last week, and shares what I hope might serve as an age-appropriate metaphor (or maybe a shaggy dog story?) to give some perspective on how you might be able to discuss some of these challenging issues in the classroom with learners at any age. Thanks again for supporting the show, and hope you are staying safe.

Recorded in bumper-to-bumper traffic to and from my daily work as a high school instructional coach just outside of Washington D.C., Talk to Mee in the Car is where a brainstorm and a good old-fashioned brain dump collide to help educators hone their skills and become leaner, meaner, 21st century teaching machines. Join me for a quick hitting 15 (ish) minute episode every Monday for tips, tricks, and strategies to change the game in your classroom TODAY with high-energy, student-centered teaching that actually works.

Because one size fits all professional development simply doesn’t.
